Ultra-Compact Trauma IFAK – Bleeding Control Kit

What is the Ultra-Compact Trauma IFAK and what does it include?

The Ultra-Compact Trauma IFAK is MED-TAC International's clinician-curated 27-component trauma and first aid kit built around CoTCCC-recommended hemorrhage control — a genuine North American Rescue C-A-T® tourniquet, QuikClot® hemostatic gauze, and 6" ETD™ Emergency Trauma Dressing — plus compressed gauze, BurnTec and Silverlon burn and wound dressings, Tegaderm films, wound closure strips, fabric bandages, petrolatum gauze, nitrile gloves, a MicroShield CPR face mask, polycarbonate eye shields, trauma shears, a pen light, a 10cc syringe for wound irrigation, surgical tape, triangular bandages, duct tape, permanent marker, survival blanket, and a MED ID patch. All packed into a MOLLE-compatible case measuring 5" × 3.5" × 7.5" at 1.35 lbs.

Who is the Ultra-Compact Trauma IFAK designed for?

This kit is designed for firearm owners and range-goers needing a dedicated point-of-wounding kit, prepared households keeping a home trauma kit for accidents, natural disasters, or active shooter events, vehicle carry in a glove box or trunk, civilians completing Stop the Bleed® or TCCC-based training, and law enforcement officers seeking a compact backup kit for off-duty or plainclothes carry. Its breadth of supplies — spanning hemorrhage control, burn care, wound management, CPR, and diagnostic tools — makes it more comprehensive than a focused bleeding control kit, addressing the full spectrum of injuries encountered in home, vehicle, and workplace settings.

Does the kit include CoTCCC-recommended components?

Yes. The Ultra-Compact Trauma IFAK includes a genuine North American Rescue C-A-T® tourniquet (NSN 6515-01-521-7976), which is CoTCCC-recommended for extremity hemorrhage control. The hemostatic dressing is kaolin-based — the current CoTCCC-recommended formulation — consistent with the standard used in military and law enforcement IFAKs. MED-TAC International sources all kit components directly from their respective manufacturers, ensuring no budget substitutions or counterfeit items; the included C-A-T is verified genuine North American Rescue manufacture, not a look-alike from unqualified suppliers.

How compact is the Ultra-Compact Trauma IFAK, and how does it mount?

The kit case measures 5" × 3.5" × 7.5" and weighs 1.35 lbs fully loaded, fitting in a cargo pocket, standard glove box, range bag, or vehicle trunk kit storage. The MOLLE/PALS-compatible case mounts flat to plate carrier MOLLE webbing, duty belts, or vehicle headrest mounts using standard MOLLE attachment. The zippered main compartment uses pull-tab access tabs for one-handed retrieval under stress. Available in Coyote Tan (SKU 82-0000) and Black (SKU 82-0077) to suit both tactical/military and civilian/plainclothes contexts.

How does the Ultra-Compact Trauma IFAK differ from the GO2FAS Gunshot Trauma Kit?

The GO2FAS is purpose-built specifically for penetrating gunshot trauma, carrying two C-A-T® tourniquets, Combat Gauze® LE hemostatic dressing, HyFin® Vent chest seals, NPA airway, and supporting supplies optimized for the clinical priorities of gunshot wounds. The Ultra-Compact Trauma IFAK is a more general-purpose kit that adds burn care (BurnTec, Silverlon), wound management (Tegaderm, closure strips, petrolatum gauze), CPR capability (MicroShield), and diagnostic tools (pen light, syringe) beyond the hemorrhage control core. If the primary threat profile is gunshot wounds, the GO2FAS is more targeted; if the kit needs to cover a broader range of everyday trauma scenarios, the Ultra-Compact IFAK is the more comprehensive choice.
